Check the FEL lift height, some of the LS tractors have shorter lift heights, things like dumping materials over the bed edge of a pickup comes to mind. Also even with the same lift numbers at full height the loader that lifts higher has to have stronger hydraulics to lift the same weight...

"I'm even hunting through old used tractors to see if I can get one that fits the bill, has more HP, 4x4, high capacity lift and weight." If you can do mechanical work, I would definitely consider a late 1970s-late 80's Ford like a 3910-4630 MFWD with FEL. Simple strong tractors with parts...

Got a 'rough' trail in, started with the Rhino tractor and the Woods Brush bull and grapple lots of brush higher than the roof I starting mowing from the spot in the first pic after moving the log out of the way.. Some chainsaw action and grapple grabbing brush, made the mistake of hand...

Thanks for the kind words, Actually the Horse was my moms originally, my sons are stepsons but consider them my boys as well as my nephews, she gave the horse to one nephew, but he lives several miles away and has no barn so we took care of the horse after mom passed. He is coming over to...

Yep, son went out to feed the 2 horses last night. Found Kera dead in the run out. She had been laying down quite a bit a few weeks back and just had the vet fix her scratched eye check her out and put on antibiotics, teeth floated and a tooth removed, just got another 8 tons of hay in for...

Our X 500 deck has held up well. UIAM even though the X series decks are only 7 gauge they are forged steel.

I like to watch Sarah Lezito do some trick riding

Yeah found out the FEL Hydraulics were just as powerful when the hood was flipped open. I did a nice job of crushing the sheet metal after doing an oil change. It looked better after applying some of my car learned body/paint work Today it took a beating Brush cutter over all kinds of...

I remember doing this .

I had to fiddle with the push rod a bit on the second tube, about the same as a manual gun but once primed it never missed a beat until the tube was empty, time will tell. It did come with 2 batteries which are Makita compatible as well, I got tired of waiting for the HF Hercules, I see today...

Two loads of Hay for the horses, already have it stored in the barn, all good till next July - that was almost like work... I roaded the Rhino tractor home ~6 miles so we did not have to unload the trailer and run back to the farmers field to get it. Amazing how many people wave at you...

I still like the long bottom open Tine, pretty handy for everything 'but' rooting, r moving large alfalfa bales, logs, rocks, and brush. Can stack a load of whatever on the lower tines as well. The linked Faver Grapples would be high on my list for me if needing a new one. But if the OP...

IIRC My 56HP Ford TLB wont go any narrower than 87" (11.00-16 tires on the front axle) had to get a flat bed trailer to move it. My 55HP Rhino only clears my utility trailer by 2" on a side. Flat deck trailers do have advantages over railed trailers.

Agreed, The X series have heavier better quality frames. The lower end Lawn tractor lines Hydro transaxles are not rated for as many hours use, and being sealed have a smaller amount of cooling capacity also likely no filtration. They generally are not rated for any ground engagement...

Well, I did need the mower and sprung for the extra shipping and they did have it the next morning. I have been trying to upgrade/ fix up the X500 when I can, new seat, new front tires, deck belt, factory Deere blades, air and oil filters, repaint body worked hood, buffed out ceramic sealed...

The JD X 500 electro clutch just failed about a month back on me. The solenoid action works but all of the clutch material is gone 900+ hours. When it failed it was instantaneous. I could have got a cheaper knock off replacement but it was stuck on the shaft pretty badly... which...

No cab either, That sure would be NICE, but do have the stock sun shade/ROPS

I think the Inverted's are great for long driveways. 2 passes on our U shaped drive- start at the road, drive around to the other road opening turn around and blow to the other entry way and the basic driveway is done. We have a gravel drive also (3/4 minus packed down). I am certain...

everything I have read said Greeneville Tennessee I like JD mowers and do have an X 500 , what got me in the vid was the WAY workers were let go. One commenter said maybe a Deere John letter would have been better. I also would personally consider buying a TYM "Branson" if buying a new...

' Saw this a couple days ago about the way JD terminated some of it's it's US workers and recalled a lot of the low tier D105 riding mowers that had the ill fated plastic transaxles but did nothing for people who got fed up and traded or just sold them for parts. Black Rock buying 17...

Well I gave up on the HF Hercules cordless grease gun and ordered an in stock amazon deal on prime day. with a coupon and prime day it was 70 bucks . smaller 4000mah battery but they supply 2 instead of one and accepts Makita batteries . Not many reviews on it but we will see specs...

And, That sales number is 'influenced' by the number of small 2 wheel walk behind models they sell.

Bought some new cylinder packings. The right stabilizer has been leaking down. Got it repaired. New King pin bushings arrived made a bushing driver on the lathe and removed old installed new. I had to order an adjustable reamer to final size the bushings to the king pins, Amazon had one...

I need to do 'something' with my 3500, winter road treatment is starting to rust the frame. I have used POR 15 on some other projects, but the idea of a quick brush and simplicity of rustoleum spray can sounds appealing. About to replace the exhaust from turbo back with a stainless...

Yeah, to bad they don't have any starter sets of the battery and charger locally or I would have that new grease gun. Back in stock soon........................................ It has been 2 weeks already. Store has received at least 2 deliveries since but no starter sets. Which means...

If I can't do it myself I go to Perfection Now, Edit and rephrase tractor tires Les Schwab does do them and has remote service trucks. So in an emergency Yep they can help.

Glad the OP got the loose loader ringing fixed. It is interesting HOW different some tractor diesels sound though. Both of my Ford tractors have been loud until they warm up then just the exhaust is loud. My china tractor also direct mechanical injected is amazingly quiet as far as engine...

A few things Spicer U joint, an SKF unit bearing, and a stainless turbo back exhaust system for the 3500 Ram. As soon as Harbor Freight gets in the battery and charger Going to get that Hercules 20volt grease gun.

If anyone is looking for a discount on a 'basic' non reversible MAG drill Vevor has a 5 day sale on the model I spent just under $300 a bit over a year ago. This one is variable speed 0-300RPM It has the higher power magnet than some other models they sell, along with having the high power...

I tried a couple days back to get the grease gun deal. Unfortunately all the nearby HF stores are sold out of the battery starter kits I asked if I could buy the grease gun tool since they only had one of those left and pick up the battery and charger later, Nope. Manager gave me a card to...

I had that problem also ads stretching covering most of the viewable screen. I thought the site had a problem, also with the bold italics etc. box because it would not select any of them when posting and also posting would put part of a sentence I wrote above the posters quote that was...

Oosik type in your address in the service box shown in the first link . It will tell you if service is available at your address...

Yep and a ballasted 860 without an FEL can weigh 6700lb. I would be looking in the 50+ HP Large CUT/ small utility tractor with MFWD and FEL with AG tires, but jmo. This won't fit the OP's truck and trailer constraints though.

If you are referring to my quote about breaking an annular cutter, I blame that on myself, not the run out or quality of the cutter. I left the lock down screws loose and it is a cheap vice to begin with. I do agree with 5030 there is a bit of induced run out using the 90* set screws but it...

Yeah that has been what I have been doing so far is trying to get a drop through point on the X-Y vice. Putting wood under it makes for a smoky end and no where to go for the slug.

oOh well then you should check out their Orange Drill bit sharpener It should fit right in:) Nicely made as well. https://www.vevor.com/end-mill-sharpener-c_10118/vevor-mr-13b-drill-bits-sharpener-3-13mm-end-mill-grinder-sharpener-11-collets-p_010895048043

I did kind of the opposite, since I got the gear head Arboga DP with a quick change MT 4 I just bought a Weldon adaptor and then swap in the annular cutters when needed. The Arboga is definitely a keeper and really slick since it is reversible and has a 2 HP motor 2 speed power down feed...

5030 , I think we bought the Vevor's around the same time. I got a more basic model it is variable speed only runs up to 300 RPM or so. Non reversible. I have only used it a few times but may try and see if I can use it to bore 2 new holes in the 24" bucket for the TLB next, so I can fit...

Tractors sure are Handy. Rhino has been sitting for a week or two after doing the felled tree clean up with grapple at the other property, but been replacing seals and fixing leaks on the 1978 Ford 550 TLB. No more leaking down stabilizer. Cured the power steering leak also today decided to...

Good deal, Glad you have a Quality Kioti dealer. Enjoy the new tractor and Congrats,

That front tire sounded a bit large for a 25HP tractor to me, Tractor data shows this: Kioti CX2510 Tires Standard tires (ag) Front: 7.0-12. Rear: 11.2-16 Lawn/turf front 23x8.5-12 Lawn/turf rear 33x12.5-16.5 Industrial front 23x8.5-12 Industrial rear 12-16.5 If front tire size...

New Interview with the Everyday astronaut and Elon at Starbase and the future :

BL 200 the FEL inclusive of frame ,bucket , boom and QA is 1037lb. I don't have the weight for a BL15 or BL 150 but it would be lighter. rear tire type size fill level chosen affects the added weight

True to a point. Especially on ground that has been worked in the last few years. We had horses running on several acres for years. I tried a disc with serrated on the front , and even mounted weights and rail road rail for extra weight. It would barely scratch the surface. I finally ended...

You might be surprised How well the 3039 does with an Inverted. I am sure over 2 feet of really wet snow would make extra work . I am a believer R1's are better for blowing snow and maintaining traction unless it is Ice underneath. I stopped to take a pic. Have only had the inverted 2 years...

Same, one of my first tests was going through 22" of rained on and wind packed from 3 snow falls when the Wifo 84" Inverted was delivered. As heavy as the Wifo's are, just lifting them a couple inches off the ground with the 3 point will give the tractor quite a bit of traction. I am...

The sound seems to completely overwhelm the engine which by the way sounds really quiet for a diesel Never heard any other tractors PTO engaged with no load sound like that. TYM, JD, Branson, Case, "Old Yanmar," Ford, etc. I guess newer Yanmar has no problem marketing them that way...

I would definitely take a Snellerized 500i that is crazy snappy response

Not sure if this has been posted before. Interview by Ellie in Space concerning the new mini Starlink that can fit in a backpack also commentary on Starlink losing out on rural broadband contract. Now being offered for order, initial roll out only offered to a limited group. Full roll out in...

IronCraft ? Isn't that the brand everyone has been saying is American made High quality and that Titan ( china sourced) is total junk? Asking because I bought a Titan backhoe thumb and it is really heavy built and no complaints .

hopefully meat on our list for next weeks trip :) This week my HP Laptop finally broke the last straw for me. Although I got almost 10 years out of it, it has been very problematic. Replaced: 3 batteries. 1 charge port connector, 3 power supplies, 1 hard drive, 1 wifi adaptor, and this week...

It sure varies in download speed. Last night it was in the mid 30's Mbps. This morning did a speed test and getting 276 Mbps down and 19 ms. latency Not complaining what a Giant step up from the Years of Hughesnet and sub 50kbps download speeds and .6 second latency. Or the 10Gig a...

"that have a good jaw opening I want." That is actually one of the rarer features. I got lucky with my used grapple being able to open it to 49"

Being a bit hard on Frank I think... He has been at this quite a while. From Norman Hospital expansion in Oklahoma, with heavy footings to support bridge cranes to Church's digging up leaking pipes to Okana 12 story motel in OKC etc and IIANM putting ~ 10000 hours of digging on that B 95 NH...

And I thought Tesla motors were expensive.

I was watching a Digginok video, Long time backhoe operator of Ford and now a B95 New Holland and he used a different approach with the FEL that is frowned upon when using non industrial tractor FEL's when trying to level uneven ground. He points out the well known principle that you...

Same except there is a family member owned sand beach on a river which we haven't been able to visit for a few years- it is over grown with growth. The river has moved and reestablishing a trail is going to be a job. Water level needs to drop a few feet before we can work on it. The brush...

I just did that with a backhoe thumb on my ford 550 TLB and the stand alone unit works well for about $220 it could be quicker with a 3" cylinder and 1 1/2 rod but not complaining.

That is what I do with the new car using the $17 Cerakote ceramic paint sealer. It is pretty hydrophobic after sitting overnight. I have been using a Toro plug in high power leaf blower to dry the car immediately after washing, it works pretty well. But Black is tougher than almost anything...

That was good until you got to the 20 KW input power. More likely 2400 watt input 166 amps @14VDC sounds close for a reasonable loss in efficiency.

I did exactly that a 2000 watt HF years ago. tractor has 2 850 CCA 12 volts in parallel. Runs a Pole saw fine and here is a pic of it starting the 10 HP track drive snowblower with no problem. I did put a power shut off switch in line with the low volt high current B+ supply line.

We have the Ryobi 40 Volt mower. It works well for smaller yards. The Ryobi electric string trimmer stripped out it's drive and was replaced with another one. I just bought a mid sized 2 stroke Echo 266 because I don't feel when push comes to shove the Ryobi has enough rough cutting...

Tightened up the main bucket pivot pin. The center bushing was in pretty good shape but PO had used a 1 1/2" pin with the bushing being 1.75" I took a 2 1/2" axle shaft and turned it down to fit. Took a while on the small 12 x 24" lathe but it got it done. I will probably turn...

Parts are getting harder to source since everything went to tier 4 especially with the china tractors. I would heed their advice, because parts availability is no small thing. If you don't mind me asking what is the asking price? Is it a cabbed tractor? How many hours on it?

Yes Perkins makes Very Good diesel engines. They have been at it for a Very Long time. They actually helped Ford design the World tractor series 2000-6000 engines in the early 1960's which are also long lived engines. Massey Ferguson has used Perkins diesels in some of their tractors as...

Little compared to what ? It's front tires are larger than the YT 235C REAR tires. The 7040 has a base weight of 7000lb before adding the FEL It is powered by a 70 HP Perkins diesel. Perkins turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder liquid-cooled Displacement: 243.798 ci 4.0 L Bore/Stroke...

I can think of one that should never be done that I tested out. Bars Leak in a Mazda Rotary engine. Never stopped the leak, but it did turn it into a one piece engine , locked solid.

Replaced the JD 240 2 stroke spin trim (1985 vintage ECHO) with a New ECHO SRM 266. Nice that it comes with a 5 year warranty, it is a bit heavier, but also has some extra cubic centimeters for some more power. Picked up a Spare set of standard style blades for the JD X 500 riding...

As popular as the Fords were you would think a bolt on (Pin On) option would be available. I converted my Koyker to QA on my Rhino tractor, and like you said cut the brackets off the bucket and then added the aftermarket QA conversion assemblies and saved the plate for later implement...

Well, that was a monumental miss.... $450 but I remeasured and needed 30Ft each- at least it was Gates hose. I got the 90* fittings and swivels JIC and SAE perfect fit and no leaks.

New Hoses and fittings to get the pieced together TLB Hydraulic thumb working Hoses fittings were ~$450 yep overpaid but Gates Parker Bought a new 1" pin today I got physical grabbing and moving some large logs and managed to do this on the first day... Going to have to remember only...

I need two ~ 25 foot 3/8" 2 wire for a thumb I am changing from fixed to hydraulic. I will get them from the local heavy equipment shop guessing $160 but is all Parker which has been good in the past. Vevor has 100 foot rolls of 2 wire 3/8" for $88, but who will want to install name...

Yeah, things like price per foot changes when going from single wire to six wire hose. Also may need Gorilla arms to align the fittings and start the threads.

232 or did you get the 290 V8 ? Auto or manual? Congrats It looks really Good!

New New Holland/Ford brake rod seals for the Ford 550. I had one TISCO left, the first one was destroyed trying to fit it and I also had a Ford part. Ford part still functioning fine, so last week I only had the TISCO seal left and the right side seal started to leak. Installed the TISCO...

My first Husky looked a bit more like this. Although it was the 1969 Sportsman Enduro not the MX in the pic. Chrome Moly frames typical Good Swedish steel. They had the shifter on the right rear brake on the left and kickstart on the left. It was easy to remember the spelling for me...

Actually it is Husqvarna

I got tired of wiping them down with a shammy, so I bought a Toro F 700 leaf blower and if the rig has decent wax or Ceramic coating, it leaves the vehicle pretty spotless - but need earmuffs, it is Loud.

Key words pressure tank. If an enclosure is not a deal breaker. I would consider a good sized captive tank, Could be a help for short term timed volume And pressure to support the sprinkler system.. Refill the tank on a programmable timer and rinse and repeat.Maybe.

Actually the place I got the trees for firewood. Idaho is the Gem state, and if you see a license plate, we are also the "Famous Potato" State.:) I take it where you live , there is an over abundance of rocks?

Combined some tractor time with mothers day trip to Home depot and then I got her a "rock" from the tree clean up site. The Rhino could not lift it so I finally pushed it onto the trailer with the grapple. Pulled it off the trailer with the backhoe and then hauled it in the bucket.

RAM to market a hydrogen fuel cell HD 5500?? Must be for very limited use, very limited fueling options and areas. https://tfltruck.com/2024/05/report-stellantis-says-hydrogen-powered-ram-hd-5500-ev-trucks-are-coming-soon-to-the-u-s-market/

Which makes the Cummins straight six the winner :) Sorry, couldn't resist- that was just too well set up.

and the older HD's got the New Venture 4500 or 5600 manuals.

On my X 500 I finally had to just take a blade into the local JD dealer to get the right blade figured out. 3 19" standard blades was~ $45 IIRC

I don't get this fascination? over the Name difference, the Ram has been an emblem since what the 1920's? Our 03 and 04 say DODGE on the tailgate and RAM on the doors. Both HD models , Cummins powered out of the Saltillo Mexico plant. Both well built trucks holding up well. I have...

I used my Gannon for at least a decade plowing snow in reverse and the bucket forward before getting an inverted 3 point blower. I also push dirt in reverse with it and got a bit to physical with the tractor and managed to completely tear a lower 3 point mount off of the modified, by PO box...

New Factory JD mower blades for the X 500 rider. Bonus- I never measured the deck but thought it was a 48" but the blades are to short from the part number so.. I guess we have a 54" deck :) New tire for the fifth wheel utility trailer . Dug out the pressure washer and somehow the high...

Yep, get Longer not shorter. I can't even fit a 5 foot brush hog and my 55 HP tractor completely on a 20 foot and that is with the bucket placed on top of the fifth wheel... Pay a bit more out of the gate and get that extra length.

Yeah the Red Fir can burn HOT. I had some from near the trunk and was also a lot of pitch in it. I put 'a bit much' in the Catalytic Blaze king one winter night and had to stay up to baby sit it. edit did more clean up and loaded the trailer a bit heavier. I remembered I still had my...

Oh It Is More than 'BROKE' in. But You have a point. My sister had an 8N with a side sickle to do field mowing. It had been parked for over a decade and she had me get it running for her. I used it for fun for a while- Didn't take Long to really Appreciate my 1967 Ford 3000 and how...

Harbor freight same as Fuddy, works good.

Don't think it could be a CR 600, the CR 500 was their big open class motocrosser. Maybe the XR 600?

That Looks Like New. Excellent score. The ultrasonic cleaners are great to have. Just saved a propane torch that would not light pulled the tiny (Plugged) jet out and gave it about 4 minutes and works great again.

Thanks, That old Ford has been ridden hard and put away wet way too many times before I got it, BUT, it just doesn't have enough common sense to die. :) Darn happy with it for the $8k- welds ,leaks, worn bushings, and all. Something to be said for just running every time it is needed...

Two new batteries for the 3500 diesel. Made it back with a load of wood yesterday . Tried to restart it to be ready for today and dead again, left a charger on the batteries all night and it made 1/2 a revolution and dead again. New batteries installed. Have to blame myself on...

Edit; Clean up job about 10 miles from home, power company decided some trees had to go, should make good fire wood, so loaded up the trailer with the 55HP Rhino 554 grapple on the FEL and box blade on 3 point, the saws and got started. Got the first load home and was able to drag the entire...

Pond pump , for the wife's little pond. She said make Shure it pumps at least 500 gallons an hour. Heh heh, Ok dear, I'll be right back. Struck out at home Depot.. off to the HF store, Mmm here is one that should work.... 4500 gallon per hour and 23ft head lift. Yep.:)

Yes a stout build is Good, also the Company "Stout" grapples, but most of them are built for skid steers and are grade 50 or 70 steel. and can are between 500 and 1000lbs. Made in USA. Family member has one on a Bobcat 250 tracked skid steer and it has been plenty tough...

Congrats, Here is to Long and rewarding property and tractor ownership. Post up a pic of the New Machine when it arrives. We like pictures and, it didn't happen without them.

I can tell you what it will do to a gas engine. If the sensor not sender report a cold reading to the ECU, when the temps are actually warm and engine is warmed up they will run PIG rich bellowing black smoke and washing down the cylinder walls with excess injected fuel and will continue to...

That is a good idea but more work for me. When I want to do that I have an old Servis brand rake with adjustable offset and wheels to set depth , plus I can angle and pull in the rock as well pic is using it to clear pine needles.

Since this is a short block engine, it sounds like they bolted on the head from the original engine. With reading the above I would definitely question whether they took the time to check and set the valve clearances. 2 out of 3 ain't bad, does not cut it for 3 cylinder diesels. Just...

Yes packed gravel ,I usually will run a water filled roller over it after more 3/4 minus is added. I have never split it or changed the angle. Not sure what you are asking on splitting the discs, if you mean having the bit of extra weight breaking a disc? , no, silty clay soil with...

Trying to consolidate some implements. Moved the old disc over with the inverted snow blower and spike harrow. Then decided to weld up a hole that was punched into the bucket.

Heh Heh that is in the same fun category as winding it up on a large 3 point tiller while you are mixing in Horse manure while making some planting soil. Time to run the pressure washer for 1/2 an hour before even thinking about removing it. Unfamiliar field mowing I managed to find...

After pushing over a weeping willow and digging it out, I noticed a big trail of hydraulic fluid from the old 550 Ford TLB. Checked the rear axle and was low almost 3 gallons. Filled back up and parked it putting cardboard underneath. O OH ripped brake rod seal. Luckily I had another one...

it will be interesting to see if Starlink can do worldwide cell phone coverage, even if it is only used for 911

I am just glad chickens aren't as large as their predecessors... If they were, I would be in Big trouble for eating their children- (eggs)

I would make a comment about planning ahead, and some folks I agree with that no matter what happens... want to be "Prepared" but since I already got a thread closed today on another forum, I will try and refrain from being a repeat offender.

Thank you for the explanation. Hearing from people that actually have lived there for an extended time usually do have the inside scoop on what is really going on.

Wyoming or Montana by chance? I don't disagree we ( family members) have several acres south of Jackson Hole and I don't know if I could take the Model Y there and back. I did figure that we could all take motorcycles though need to plug in the address in the car and see what it lays...

Well I would love to keep posting ... But, gonna get chewed out if I don't get some kindling split for the Blaze King and get that fresh Oil and Filter in and on my honey's Cummins powered RAM , plus the batteries "Hah Ha" are acting up in my RAM 3500.:) I better get to it as Gramps used...

Well obviously they would not place a charging station where there is not a grid supply, at least not yet. Tesla could put large solar canopies up and c install back up storage (virtual grid) on site as well if the grid loads need to be spread out. Texas and Australia are beginning...

Very similar KWH pricing. I think our town has one charging station location with 2 hookups?. Never used it. The next might be 50 miles in any direction, not sure, since the car has been 100% charged @ home and was able to make a 220 mile trip at night raining, Hard. Heat, lights, wipers...

My motorcycle can get 45 MPG but with the above gas prices the EV can easily more than double the motorcycles MPG as far as fuel cost. Something to be said for the freedom a bike gives that is intangible/priceless. The EV was expensive so I put full coverage on it , 1200 bucks a year...

Tesla has ramped up charge station installations. They are now prefabbing the chargers "up to 12" and setting the entire group in place including the concrete. This modular "PSU" can be installed and up and running, open for business in 4 days. 2300 stall installations in the US so far...

3 gallons of Delvac 1 ESP 5w-40 synthetic for the wife's Ram Cummins. I had lots of T-6 Shell synthetic but the smell for the first 1000 miles or so she can't stand...

Tore a seal on the right rear axle brake rod (Ford 550 TLB). Cheap part but sure makes for a leaky mess until the old seal is replaced. Lost about 2 gallons of Hydraulic fluid since I last checked the rear axle. Ooops

Heh Heh, I welded that tine back together with 7018 right after that and am still using it.

Just a thought/question, Is the Top link already in the least sensitive position assuming this has draft control setting ability? Can you take it out of draft and just run the 3 point in position control setting It sure picked up the implement quickly as soon as some resistance was transmitted.

Not sure they can without a transaxle because of individual hydraulic motors. If you activate both levers doesn't it force both rear wheels to turn anyway, so no actuatable locker needed anyway/ Maybe a reason to buy a rider. That said I originally wanted a z turn. Wife said no way I...

The old Yanmar's are cramped as well. I can barely fit on FIL's 2310D can't even move my feet. It would not surprise me if it is still running in 50 years. I was impressed with the Branson 3015 when I test drove it , Lots of open floor space and a comfortable suspension seat standard.

Another reason to maybe get a mower with a rear locker.

. Heck I bought the 1967 Ford 3000 diesel from the Original owners son. The engine had never been touched and ran good, they did have the original dealer rebuild the powershift transmission though. I checked the dash hour meter and it had stopped at almost 5000 hours, the guy...

Heck mine offered more than they hinted they would sell the consignment for !... In the end It was still a bargain. All in for under $2600 JD's needing a wash and some plastic repair hid a good condition X model for a reasonable price. Already put another 100 hours on it and would buy...

Early on I thought it was a John Deere GP, and when Ford became a sponsor the model F Fordson replaced it. Also originally Henry Ford had to sell Ford tractors as Fordson because William Baer Ewing marketed a junky tractor as a Ford before Henry got around to it

I was just sending back the Green Acres joke. The above is when Lisa bought Mr. Douglas a brand new Commander SOS 6 cylinder cabbed Ford. Ford was a major sponsor of the show and that was the Flagship debut of their Top model that year, so they managed to feature it on the episode I...

FORD? , but "Never look a gift tractor in the mouth":)

Look into a new Commander with powershift. Maybe the wife will buy it without telling you, Hopefully it doesn't get delivered to the neighbor instead...

We had a 1960's CASE Terratrac 750? with a hoe and a clamshell bucket. It was a very handy machine. Good Luck to the OP on the Boxwood removal, tight spaces complicate things for sure.

That's what I get for responding before reading through all of the posts:)

It is low Voltage until the connection is made. Then self checks are made, before it applies higher voltage and current for charging. KWH is ramped up smoothly as well. I guess if you continue to stand there holding a locked in cord during a lightning storm there could be increased...

I doubt Flyinghigh or his dad feels that way concerning the TYM they bought, in fact I bet he wishes they could have the decade old Branson back that was traded in.

It takes some planning with an EV. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-supercharging-during-solar-eclipse.313554/

That T REX is a beast. I really wanted a Trackhawk but even used was a bit more than I could budget.

Same MPG wise For me, it is the Model Y then Kawasaki Z900RS @44 MPG and then the 3500 4x4 6 speed manual Cummins RAM at ~20MPG unloaded hiway. It has by far the longest range before stopping for fuel.

gee, I must be doing something wrong... spent $322 on electricity and travelled 7225 miles which looks to be over 78 MPG @ $3.50 a gallon gas. today locally regular is at least $3.85 a gallon. I do get Too many Kubota's point and agree with him, truly rural with the distances that need to...

I may have misquoted the brand- thinking it is Yard Machines splitter has a full I beam. I switched the Briggs to full synthetic within the first couple hours run time.

I have a 25 ton Yardmachines? Briggs with 12 years on it now ,Unbelievably still always starts within 4 pulls. I wore out the pump coupler and replaced it for $7 . Been a great splitter , not the fastest but it has split anything I have needed.

Forever? Well I would pick a late 1960's to mid 80's Utility tractor from any of the big manufacturers. The popular JD, Ford, Massey models and some others are still going to be serviceable for a very long time. I am Not convinced that is true for some of todays CUT's as far as getting...

It was the left lift/boom cylinder. I did not have the loader at the lowest height with cylinder rods bottomed. Was digging with the regular bucket angled down 1st gear weighted wheels and 1100lb on the 3 point lots of traction. I have also blown out a grapple lid hose one time trying to...

I don't know about that model, but do recall a new Mahindra buyer that had a hydro failure and IIRC he waited for near a year for a replacement Hydro pump to arrive. I would definitely nail down all major hydro replacement costs and time to delivery before taking a chance.

Mine is about 70% charged by hydroelectric. If I was on the east coast probably be about the same % in coal. with citations Are Electric Cars Worse For The Environment? How to make 100% waste... Design , build never sell and then??? Probably a great around town work truck. In a...

Wouldn't some of that be offset by some of the California buy an EV rebate?

I am ok with paying it, but do pay registration on other ICE vehicles already. Oh well the roads are getting better here.

[ how many miles the EV has driven and then taxed on that amount of miles. Also I read where most EV’s weigh considerably more due to the weight of the batteries and these cars eat tires like candy. Tesla specific but many responders. In our state it is an additional $140 fee every year...

Sure enough I put a FAST Shipping item in the cart GM102 - EA 102" Multi Speed HD Rotary Tiller $8,152.00 It really does seem like the order page is functional. I put a hat in the cart a few weeks back and it was also still there.

Something weak in the new 4x4 Tacoma maybe the sliding front axle engagement collar. TFL truck barely pushed it on an icy hill and the thing popped, loosing front drive. The Chevy they were also testing had to give the Toyota a pull so they could limp it back to the dealer for repairs...

Wow little guys can't even have horses or a few chickens but Companies like Nestle can pump 200-400 gallons a minute 24/7 for decade(s) out of an aquifer for nothing... and then get a several million dollar tax break in addition.

That is another CUT design difference Very small diameter front 3rd member ring and pinion dimensions. Some housings aren't even any larger in the center section than the outer axle tubes to house the center differential ring and pinion and spider gear. 50 HP running through very much...

My 02 cents and I think this common across several brands of CUT's, that is that heavy loading of the front axle in 4x4 is causing stub axle inner or outer ball bearing stamped steel cage to wear / distort just enough to release ball bearing(s) at that point it is just a matter of time...

Well, I just hope those that paid by check can also get their money back . Sounds like using a card saved a lot of headaches on not loosing (in some cases) thousands of dollars.

Well I have to wonder about the interstate business laws. How does this not become federal if anyone out of state did not receive paid for items?

That works to a point, I blew out a hydraulic hose doing it because the FEL controls were centered while driving forward. In that position there is no relief valve in circuit, amazing to lose 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid in about a second.

Oh Sorry, I just noticed which end you were having the problem with on the taper from the pics. You can also get an integrated chuck / taper which could improve run out at the same time. That was one thing I did not get with the Arboga, so I found a Shar's MT4 with a 5/8" chuck with...

The taper end that is failing is not the main taper. maybe Knock out the MT2 or 3 and then source a new one. if you do decide to replace the press I would definitely not buy a HF 17" I bought it and was very disappointed to find the main column was only .060 wall thickness. The...

I have posted the story with that mower in other threads, but agree on the 2 cylinder inline liquid cooled engine itself was Good and a smooth runner while being fuel efficient. A short list of the problems PTO clutch would brake while trying to engage the deck and could not be adjusted for...

Had several Honda cars all Good but the worst rider ever for me was the Honda 4518, it was terrible.

Some models The plastic cam / cam lobes, decomp device is complete garbage.

That lower bolster mount looks like it is for a 3000. I think there must be a different one for the 4000 since it has the heavier front axle assembly. I had a very similar 730 on my 3000, from what the original owner said they cautioned him about being careful with the 730 mounted to a...

Opened that pic up to full screen . Yep does look like they were fully extended. Ouch. I like Branson's, but have heard some parts are pricey. Hopefully these are not to bad price wise

I Also make sure weight is hung on the 3 point as well. We have some spots where the bottom went out and kids 4 wheeled them making deep ruts. Pretty amazing how that mud fills back in the ruts by back dragging with pressure. Again front tires in the air... Not float. Steer with the rear...

I agree that there are many "older" tractors in the under 60 hp range that never had problems back dragging with the front of the bucket. I think it is related to the rod size. Many older machines had 1 1/2 rods and ~3" cylinders. Today everybody is downsizing those hydraulic cylinders...

I believe they are a power shift actually, although fully mechanical using bands, hydraulic clutches and planetary gear sets. The only time the inching pedal really needs to be used is starting out. Guess it comes down to the definition of Powershift, but Ford was more that willing to use...

There must have been several qualities of it. GM's version " MORROKIDE" was Tough stuff, every early GTO that had it never really seemed to wear. Compared with the really cheap cloth GM put in the 1980's cars it was much better wearing.

Very nice, that extra 13" width and doors clearing the fender tops helps with cars. My fenders are at the rail height so a No go for a car.

Ford 730 should work as well. Prepare for fairly slow hydraulics if you don't add a front crankshaft driven pump or a PTO add on. I don't think the top plate add on style have enough flow for quick cylinder response.

Mine has the foot or so tall rails and is only about 80" between fenders. I can get the doors open a few inches but not enough to exit. having a low slung trailer it does tow very well. Flat bed trailers have advantages too. How wide is the space between those 9" tall fenders? Are...

Have a 20ft utility 5th wheel tilt including dove tail. Sometimes I don't even jack it up, just roll up to the trailer in 1st and walk the front tires up on the tilt then just drive on. My only complaint is hauling cars and having to climb out the front door window, since you can't...

FAA Launch license 3 has been Granted. Ship 28 and booster 10 should be launching very soon...

Or even a Grapple lid:)

Sounds Good, I agree it should not have broken, Did they end up warranting it ? Also agree a machine should be able to meet the ratings. jmo a front axle cradle that is cast should be as good or better than a welded assembly, and given a choice would be preferable. Good luck on the...

Heh Heh, That's bad, could be.

This is starting to sound like the old computer game: "Where in the world" is Ted C....?

Well, some could play 'Light the sky on Fire' when a launch happens:) but I think that song is more about spending a night with a Hot woman.

Maybe keep an eye out and find a used but serviceable X 500. That one we bought for $2400 was pretty ugly but the machine itself was in really good shape and has been a trooper on our rough yards. That diff lock, Kawasaki, and K 72 work well with a good deck as well. I would buy it again in a...

Yes pics please. Do you use the FEL to the full 3000 lb weight rating often? Also, If you do work the FEL hard and heavy, do you have a good heavy counterweight on the 3 point? How many hours on the tractor?

Here is to hoping they keep the 20 series Good features. heavier castings and axle support, 8 Lugs, double shear front axle hubs, (with staked nut retained outer stub axle, instead of a circlip), steel fenders and hood, etc. I hope TYM does not "Improve" on these Branson designs.

Deleted. Going to see if another family member has the newspaper clippings of the early family bear wrestler. Will post anything if I find it.

Although it is a few years old now , We sure like ours. I am not crazy about the remote though.

Yeah but the newest headlight system (adaptive) can do much more than just raise and lower the beam. They control individual high output LEDs. The matrix lights on my Model Y can actually spell words with the lights and that is different than just raising or lowering the entire beam. It allows...

I have wondered how the adaptive lights work when following another vehicle. The test videos with oncoming vehicles looks like it works well, but if they don't adjust while trailing another vehicle that would be a problem.

If those trucks had headlights like a newer Tesla they could take a minute and lower them on the touch screen using the headlight settings. Or if the US would catch up with EU they would automatically adjust (adaptive headlights) and cut the light going into the oncoming drivers eyes without...
